Comparison of model simulations with atmospheric observations from the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes following the 2020 Australian wildfires shows that the wildfire aerosol composition promotes stratospheric chlorine and ozone depletion chemistry.

Structural and biochemical studies of the Mycobacterium smegmatis hydrogenase Huc provides insights into how [NiFe] hydrogenases oxidize trace amounts of atmospheric hydrogen and transfer the electrons liberated via quinone transport.

Within the Lagoon Nebula lies the star cluster NGC-6530, made up of a few thousand stars.

The amount of surface oxygen in graphene materials is a key factor in how effective they could be in killing bacteria—a discovery which may help to design safer and more effective products to combat antimicrobial resistance.

Helped by amateur astronomers, Kimura is delving into the mysteries of distant galaxies.

Scientists have created a gargantuan synthetic survey that shows what we can expect from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s future observations. Though it represents just a small chunk of the real future survey, this simulated version contains a staggeri…

Using NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory, astronomers have performed deep X-ray observations of a nearby active galaxy known as NGC 5728 and its active galactic nucleus (AGN). Results of the observational campaign, published March 1 on the pre-print server arXi…

Japan plans to share US$2 billion annually between a handful of top universities. Experience from elsewhere suggests the negatives of this approach might outweigh the positives.

The Worm Moon marks the last full moon of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

RANT to the condescending driver who scolded cyclists for riding in the BIKE LANE of a public street. Hello? Maybe they were heading to the same destination as you! Cyclists are entitled to ride on virtually all public streets, and...

Warmer temperatures in the Arctic are thawing the region's permafrost — a frozen layer of soil beneath the ground — and potentially stirring viruses that, after lying dormant for tens of thousands of years, could endanger animal and human health.

A mechanism behind how plants can develop long-term immunity to stress has been discovered by scientists at the University of Sheffield. Biotic stress experienced by plants can take the form…

The International Space Station adjusted its orbit March 6 to avoid a close approach by an imaging satellite operated by Satellogic.

Ireland-based researchers have developed a method for the synthesis of cerium, a rare earth mineral that holds promise for the treatment of diseases associated with inflammation, including cancer.

A NASA diagram and video shows which countries are releasing and absorbing carbon dioxide around the world - based on satellite observations between 2015 and...

Researchers from a Scottish university have teamed up with monkeys to learn more about how animals prefer to use interactive systems.The researchers, from the University of Glasgow, found that white-faced saki monkeys at Korkeasaari Zoo in Helsinki p

Billions of sea anemones adorn the bottom of the Earth's oceans—yet they are among the rarest of fossils because their squishy bodies lack easily fossilized hard parts. Now a team of paleontologists has discovered that countless sea anemone fossils have been …

Physics makes a lot of assumptions about time that may be getting in the way of understanding the fourth dimension.

NASA has shared an image of the Vela pulsar wind nebula using imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer that shows faint a blue fuzzy line pointing to the upper side.
